There are rumours that someone from Saints spoke to Bilic today. Lets hope they are true and we are looking at replacing the Argy. In the meantime keep an eye on the betting odds, they are usually the first indicater that a manager is for the chop. He was 6/1 this morning at 11 o'clock, now only evens to lose his job

I think anyone could do a better job than Pellegrino and hopefully get a new manager boost. But I would like to think we would have had a word with some other candidates before Bilic. I didn't really follow the whole story with him at West Ham but I seem to recall one of the issues was a lack of fitness and that is something we really need to address.

I think we would talk with 2-3 candidates if we were getting rid of this manager. IF, and I say if.... this rumour has legs then I would expect us to start talking to candidates, and this FA Cup week would be an ideal time. It gives us a week to decide who, and gives the new manager a week to settle in before the next league game against Burnley

For months I have hoped that this idiot - would hopefully see some sense - come down to this planet of earth - and make some defining decisions - but YET AGAIN on Sunday again showed - this guy's an idiot - and doesn't learn from his many mistakes, and really hasn't got a clue.

LET'S HOPE IT IS NOT TOO LATE.

We are stuck with him. Get used to it. It’s down to the players to see if they care enough to remain Premiership footballers. Half of them would be off if we went down anyway.

We thought that we had the answers,
It was the questions we had wrong.

IF we are going to make a change this FA cup week offers the last realistic opportunity. Anything after would be too late. (so watch Reed dither for another month)

yes...that's why I hope that this rumour has some truth in it, and is part of the process to have a new manager in by the next League game.

But signs from the club are not hopeful, wheeling out players to give him a good reference, and of course the PR regarding contracts for our best young'uns. Then the PR surrounding Kat and Krugers visit Gao and his daughter over the Chinese New Year.

The problem is that right now there is a dearth of suitable candidates. We aren't a club that sacks the manager and goes for the usual suspects thank god. I bet the club looked round and came to the conclusion that Hughes is no better having been sacked by Stoke when in 19th place. Bilic was sacked for poor performance from West Ham and also doesn't look like a guy that could inspire a team. He's a depressing looking scruffy tramp. As West Brom found, there is no point booting out a manager when there are no clear candidates that are any better. (and yes I know someone will say Silva but even he went down with Hull and didn't cover himself in glory at Watford).
